What a difference a week makes from mid teens the previous week to a maximum of 30 for the stableford competition the women played at the Blue Lake Golf Club last Wednesday.<\/p>\n
It was a welcome return for Josie Ashby in the Division One winning circle after signing for 37 points to take the top Blue Lake Golf Club voucher but not until she survived a three-way countback from Annette Ford and Karen Panagopoulos all returning scores of 37 points.<\/p>\n
Ashby off 21 had splits of 15\/22 the back nine proving very beneficial with pars on the 12th, 14th and 15th resulting in three – three-pointers.<\/p>\n
Ford, off 25, had two consistent nines of 18\/19 that included 1one three-pointer on the front nine and a par on the par five 4th hole, it was her back-nine that saved the day with pars on the 11th and 14th with unfortunately a wipe on the 17th.<\/p>\n
Panagopoulos, off 25, did things in reverse, her score of 23 on the front nine scoring six three pointers that gave her a head start she would have confidently gone to the back nine but a few too many double bogeys and only one three pointer was a disappointing 15\u00a0points for Panagopoulos.<\/p>\n
Lucy Richards, after second placing the previous week, topped Division Two this outing with a sizzling 40 points.<\/p>\n
Off a 38 handicap, Richards made good use of it going out scoring 21 points from three- three- pointers as well as a four-pointer on the 5th hole and a wipe on the 7th.<\/p>\n
The back nine score of 19 also included three three-pointers and a four-pointer on the dog leg 15th.<\/p>\n
Lesley McPherson off 31 faced a count-back from Lee Anderson off 45 after both signing for 39 points before collecting second place voucher.<\/p>\n
McPherson had splits of 19\/20 and included six – three-pointers.<\/p>\n
A four on the 10th resulted in four points. Anderson also used her handicap very well scoring 22 points on the front nine and 17 on the back.<\/p>\n
Her card showed seven three pointers and two four pointers and would have rued what could have been with three wipes on her card.<\/p>\n
Nearest to the pin 2nd shot on the 14th winners were Josie Ashby (Div 1) and Lucy Richards (Div 2).<\/p>\n
Karen Panagopoulos won the pro shot on the 5th and the best back nine winners were Ashby 22 points and McPherson 20 points.<\/p>\n
Ferret prizes were given to Jenny Johnson 2nd and Dianne Allen 15th. A four ball better ball will be played Wednesday sponsored by Swallow Drive Meats.<\/p>\n
